Not at out at all sure why you are trying to shorten your cables. General view is that an 8-9' length of speaker cable is optimal and also getting your rack out from between the speakers will help with imaging
in my setup I use a 25' interconnect from pre to my monoblocks with the pre and sources all off on the other side of the room. I use 8' speaker cables and cross them up front.
In any case the further you can get the big rack, and especially the turntable, away from the speakers the better
